Taylor was the top nominee with nine, with Ed coming in second with six and Bey right behind him with five chances to win a Moon Man.

Taylor and Ed each gained noms for multiple videos, while Kendrick Lamar received feature nods for both “Bad Blood” and “Never Catch Me” with Flying Lotus, as well as a Video of the Year nomination for “Alright.”

Miley Cyrus announced on Monday that she will be hosting the 2015 VMAs after her very memorable (and very raunchy) 2013 performance with Robin Thicke. “MTV won’t let me perform,” read signs worn around her neck in a Twitter photo, “so I’m hosting this year’s VMAs.”

The MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from L.A.’s Microsoft Theater on August 30 at 9 p.m.

The singer took to Instagram and YouTube on Wednesday (July 1) to share a frenzied video of herself dancing to “7/11,” showing off her rainbow-colored outfits, doing “the whip,” and riding a tricycle while her gal pal flaps her colorful train.

In addition to the support of same-sex marriage on Twitter, Time reports that more than 26 million Facebook users celebrated pride by adding a rainbow filter over their profile pictures, a feature that was created by two interns.

According to the magazine’s annual Celebrity 100 list, Taylor and Calvin, who confirmed their relationship with lots of PDA at the Billboard Music Awards in April, reportedly have a combined earning of $140 million.

Coming in second, Mr. and Mrs. Carter’s joint paycheck equates to $110.5 million. Country stars Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton filled in the No. 3 spot with a merged income of $57 million. Forbes adds that the six superstars were the only couples on its Celebrity 100 list this year.

Taylor, whose 1989 album became the first effort to achieve platinum status in 2014 and went on to be the most successful record since Eminem‘s The Eminem Show in 2002, is currently filling stadiums for her 1989 World Tour, on top of her endorsement deals with Diet Coke, Keds, and Sony. On the other hand, Calvin, who was named the highest-paid DJ of 2014, is the face of Giorgio Armani and Sol Republic headphones.

For this year’s Celebrity 100, the top-earning entertainers were ranked based on their annual income only. The entire list will be made public on Monday, June 29.

The clip finds Madonna dancing through the halls of the whimsical Standard Highline hotel, crashing through a glow-in-the-dark sock puppet show, and tossing back shots at a rooftop ragefest. Rita, Chris, Diplo, and Alexander are seen scattered throughout the venue lip-syncing the line in the chorus “B**ch, I’m Madonna,” while shots of Miley, Kanye, Katy, Beyonce, and Nicki randomly dominate the screen as they mouth the same lyrics.

Mr. and Mrs. Carter were leaving the Tidal headquarters in Oslo, Norway on Tuesday when hundreds of their devoted followers congregated around their SUV. A fan uploaded an aerial video of the circus, capturing screeching fans banging and pressing their bodies against the car windows as the driver attempts to take off.

Jay tapped into the streaming business with Tidal and WiMP, two services he acquired from Swedish media tech company Aspiro. He launched Tidal at an event at New York City’s James A. Farley Post Office in Herald Square in late March.

The rapper enlisted over a dozen industry heavyweights including his wife, Daft Punk, Kanye West, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Calvin Harris, and others as his supporters. In an attempt to score more Tidal subscribers, Bey and Nicki’s “Feeling Myself” video dropped exclusively on the hifi streaming service last week.

The vegan nutritionist has just released his latest book, The 22-Day Revolution, which includes a forward by the “XO” singer and lays out how to eat a healthy plant-based diet and reap all of its benefits.

“People are tired of being tired, they’re tired of being overweight, they’re tired of losing weight only the gain it again,” Marco explained when he called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday morning. “So what we’ve done here is we’ve taken the powerful tools of habit formation and we’ve coupled them with plant-based nutrition. So no longer are you going to lose 10 pounds, only to gain back the 10 plus two.”

So why 22 days? Marco explains that it takes the average human brain 21 days to break a habit. “So if you adopted a healthy habit over the course of 21 days, on the 22nd day that habit will be ingrained. Now you have a new tool to live the life you really want to live.”

Marco adds that he understands it’s not possible for most people to turn to the vegan lifestyle, but every little bit helps.

“This is not a manifesto to convert the world to veganism,” he insists. “What it is it’s a really powerful tool to get people to understand the remarkable benefits of plant-based nutrition. Does that mean you have to go 100 percent? No. It just means is you need to be more conscious of putting more plant-based foods into our diet.”

Marco’s book The 22-Day Revolution is out now and available here! And for more information on his vegan food-delivery service 22 Day Nutrition, which he co-owns with Beyonce and Jay Z, head on over to its website 22DaysNutrition.com.
